Rather than -being a single comprehensive program, -.B nmh -consists of a collection -of fairly simple single-purpose programs to send, retrieve, save, -and manipulate messages. -.PP -Unlike most mail clients in UNIX, -.B nmh -is not a closed system which -must be explicitly run, then exited when you wish to return to the shell. -You may freely intersperse -.B nmh -commands with other shell commands, -allowing you to read and answer your mail while you have (for example) -a compilation running, or search for a file or run programs as needed -to find the answer to someone's question before answering their mail. -.PP -The rest of this manual entry is a quick tutorial which will teach you -the basics of -.BR nmh . -You should read the manual entries for the -individual programs for complete documentation. -.PP -To get started using -.BR nmh , -put the directory -.I %bindir% -on your -.BR $PATH . -This is best done in one of the files: -.IR \&.profile , -.IR \&.login , -.IR \&.bashrc , -or -.I \&.cshrc -in your home directory. (Check the -manual entry for the shell you use, in case you don't know how to -do this.) Run the -.B mmh -command. If you've never used -.B nmh -before, it will create the necessary default files and directories after -asking you if you wish it to do so. -.PP -.B inc -moves mail from your system maildrop into your -.B nmh -`+inbox' folder, breaking it up into separate files and converting it -to -.B nmh -format as it goes. It prints one line for each message it -processes, containing the from field, the subject field and as much of -the first line of the message as will fit. It leaves the first message -it processes as your current message. You'll need to run -.B inc -each -time you wish to incorporate new mail into your -.B nmh -file. -.PP -.B scan -.B prints a list of the messages in your current folder. -.PP -The commands: -.BR show , -.BR next , -and -.B prev -are used to read -specific messages from the current folder. -.B show -displays the -current message, or a specific message, which may be specified by its -number, which you pass as an argument to -.BR show . -.B next -and -.B prev -display, respectively, the message numerically after or before -the current message. In all cases, the message displayed becomes the -current message. If there is no current message, -.B show -may be -called with an argument, or -.B next -may be used to advance to the -first message. -.PP -.B rmm -(remove message) deletes the current message. It may be called -with message numbers passed as arguments, to delete specific messages. -.PP -.B repl -is used to respond to the current message (by default). -It places you in the editor with a prototype response form. While you're -in the editor, you may peruse the item you're responding to by reading -the file -.IR @ . -After completing your response, type -.B l -to -.B list -(review) it, or -.B s -to -.B send -it. -.PP -.B comp -allows you to compose a message by putting you in the editor -on a prototype message form, and then lets you send it. -.PP -All the -.B nmh -commands may be run with the single argument: -.BR \-help , -which causes them to print a list of the arguments they may be invoked -with and then exit. -.PP -All the -.B nmh -commands may be run with the single argument: -.BR \-version , -which cause them to print the version number of the -.B nmh -distribution, and then exit. -.PP -Commands which take a message number as an argument ( -.BR scan , -.BR show , -.BR repl , -\&...) also take one of the words: \*(lqfirst\*(rq, -\*(lqprev\*(rq, \*(lqcur\*(rq, \*(lqnext\*(rq, or \*(lqlast\*(rq to indicate -(respectively) the first, previous, current, next, or last message in -the current folder (assuming they are defined). - -Commands which take a range of message numbers ( -.BR rmm , -.BR scan , -.BR show , -\&...) also take any of the abbreviations: -.PP -.RS 5 -.IP \fI\fR\-\fI\fR 15 -Indicates all messages in the range to , inclusive. The range must be nonempty. -.IP \fI\fR:+\fIN\fR 15 -.IP \fI\fR:\-\fIN\fR 15 -Up to -.I N -messages beginning with (or ending with) message -.IR num . -.I Num -may be any of the pre-defined symbols: -.IR first , -.IR prev , -.IR cur , -.I next -or -.IR last . -.IP first:\fIN\fR 15 -.IP prev:\fIN\fR 15 -.IP next:\fIN\fR 15 -.IP last:\fIN\fR 15 -The first, previous, next or last -messages, if they exist. -.RE -.PP -There are many other possibilities such as creating multiple folders -for different topics, and automatically refiling messages according to -subject, source, destination, or content.
